The Amanda Bucci Show (Formerly Bucci Radio)

In this episode of The Amanda Bucci Show, we explore what it really looks like (and what's truly required) to "own your gifts" and actualize your potential: in life and business. Amanda breaks down the details of the the identity shift everyone goes through when it comes to acknowledging you have a vision and gifts that can serve the collective...and everything you let go of and take radical responsibility for to actualize those into "getting paid to exist." If you’ve ever felt like you were meant for something more—more visibility, more impact, more alignment—this episode is your permission slip (and loving wake-up call) to claim that version of you, step by step. Amanda shares the real behind-the-scenes of what it actually looks like to go from gifted-but-uncertain to a fully expressed, well-paid, and powerfully grounded leader in your authentic authority. You’ll hear stories, insights, and hard-earned wisdom on why ownership is the portal, identity work is the path, and radical responsibility is the price of admission. Perfect for intuitive leaders, creatives, coaches, and healers who know they’ve been hiding behind their potential for just a bit too long. ⏱️ Time Stamps: own your gifts"? Loved this episode?

Building a business that reflects who you truly are isn’t a straight path. After quadrupling my revenue for four years straight, I reached the moment every evolving entrepreneur faces: the version I built no longer fit the version I had become. This is the behind-the-scenes story of the full tear down: the brand, the offers, the direction—that I dismantled to make space for what wanted to emerge. This wasn't just a rebrand with new colors and fonts, but a new way of being that's more precise, nervous-system safe, and aligned with who I've always been. For the creative leader navigating the uncomfortable space between who you were and who you’re becoming—this is your episode. I share: Why I tore it all down, and what I'm building now The in-between-years of not knowing the answers The key moments I trusted myself—and when I didn’t The personal and professional unraveling and surrender that led me to deep clarity How I navigated identity shifts, business model pivots, and pricing decisions The experiences that created nervous system patterns that made success feel unsafe (and how I'm rewiring that now) How I distilled my multi-passionate creativity into a clear, embodied brand What I’ve retired, kept, and created—and why If you’re in the season of rebuilding or realigning, this one’s for you. Timestamps: 00:00 — For those who feel called to rebuild 03:42 — Naturally wired for success, naive to the pains of expansion (fitness to business years) 12:30 — The moment I knew I had to tear it down 15:48 — The nervous system wiring of "success equals suffering" 19:02 — Dissolution of a centralized brand and the years of exploration 22:15 — Starting a second company (and the deeper fear running that decision) 32:10 — Decentering business to prioritize play, community, and relationships 40:25 — The Brand Arc; deep self inquiry and the vision that changed everything 47:30 — Business model testing: masterminds, 1:1s, courses — feeling into what’s true for my energy 49:42 — Nervous system healing: meeting the parts that wired letdown and fear of success 52:06 — Designing a body of work that feels like home Book Recommendations: The Way of Integrity, Martha Beck Followed, Amanda Bucci 🎙 Listening to this episode might spark some inconvenient clarity.

If you feel like your current brand and business does not reflect who you know you're capable of being--that's a sign to refocus on developing your personal brand through developing yourself. In this episode, we have a honest conversation about why you might not be scaling that has nothing to do with your ability to execute a strategy.

Oftentimes, entrepreneurs get stuck doing things they think they SHOULD be doing, when in reality, success as an entrepreneur comes from actually understanding your inner self. When you’re confronted with thousands of other people doing something similar to you on the daily, it’s imperative to develop a strong sense of self and make decisions based on what’s the most aligned for you; rather than what’s trending.

If no one cared how you lived your life, how would you live it? In American culture, individualism is prioritized over collectivism.

When launching a new course or program, what you’re really doing is birthing a new version of yourself into the world. If you’ve ever launched something, I’m sure you’ve experienced some level of anxiety, fear, and emotional ups and downs. The success that gets to come from putting out something awesome that gives people amazing results can come with a whirlwind of emotions. It can also affect your energy and the way you relate to yourself. I work with many entrepreneurs who pour their heart, energy, and bandwidth into creating and launching incredible group programs or 1:1 offers. This episode is all about embodied launching aka being able to plan and execute a calm grounded and successful launch without being on an emotional rollercoaster. In this episode, I walk you through steps for a grounded launch and we cover: Being all 4 archetypes at onceLack of awareness for an optimized launchAnxiety and avoidance while launchingOrganization and delegationFeminine and masculine during a launchEnergy over framework Our Partners: Entrepreneurialarchetype.com Amandabucci.com/kajabi amandaabucci.com/legal

We are currently living in the age of the “Expert;” where everyone is an authority, but we’re all afraid to be a human. This is creating a culture of disembodiment for fear of not living up to the impossible standards of credibility set by our social media culture. Instead of fully embodying and living authentically to be in service of others, we are instead focused on appearing as the polished expert to our audience. Today’s guest is Spiritual Leader and WOC Advocate, Devi Brown. Devi and I met at my spiritual psychology program as USM, and she has been an absolute ANGEL to get to know! Devi serves as Chief Impact Officer at Chopra Global and is a passionate advocate for Women of Color in wellness.

As the 2020 Anti-Racism movement has progressed, people across the world are awakening to the truth of how systemic racism has repeatedly traumatized the Black community, creating global un-learnings and un-doings of the structures that keep white supremacy alive. But have we ever considered a psychological way to actually heal racism from the core, root level of each individual? Today’s guest-- Dr. April Harter-- is the psychotherapist founder of the Racism Recovery Center. Her center provides psychotherapy to white people to address and heal their racism and racist behaviors. April has a unique approach to understanding racism on a personal level. As you all know, looking deeper at the trauma and life experiences had to uncover problematic and abusive behavior is deeply important to healing. April is in the midst of developing research for this process, and ideally--create evidence-based solutions to treat racism. In this episode you’ll hear us discuss: The different types of racismRacism coming from the root of narcissismA psychological understanding of how narcissism, codependency, and racism relate.How performative allyship can become codependencyTrauma-informed ways to heal and end racismBuilding intimacy with black people and POC through healing of racismLong term evidence based solutions to racism MOMENTS: [7:48] April describes her process and how she began uncovering this type of work[12:00] April talks about healing her own trauma and racism[14:49] Defense mechanisms and racism not being trauma informed[18:09] Discovering that there are no therapists that treat racism[26:57[ Amanda asks April why people believe racism isn’t real?

"You can’t practice compassionate detachment unless you’ve had healing yourself." "White people tend to think that they are the exception. This reinforces denial that they have a problem."

We don’t want to relate to darkness as bad or negative. As much as we want to be “high-vibe,” “positive” and “energetic matches” for that which we desire--repression of darkness only festers more darkness. When we don’t ADDRESS or CONFRONT the shadow [be it our perceived “negative” or “positive” traits and qualities] it ends up unconsciously seeping through the cracks of our psyche into thoughts, emotions, and actions as a projection of the internal world in the external, material reality. When we do ADDRESS and CONFRONT our shadow, we can then integrate it into our being to become more whole--and gain agency and sovereignty over how we interact with it moving forward. In this episode, we dive into each of the four entrepreneurial archetypes and their shadow side, plus tips on how to heal the shadow side and connect with the opposite archetypes to your advantage.

It’s having a feminine mission and waking up with your masculine and getting to work.” "My unconscious bias lived in my niche. Identifying your niche by design does not include people of color or types of humans."

There are just those moments in life that you have a strong intuition that you have to do something immediately. When I walked with Cooper earlier, something connected in me. It might be because of the things that have been going on in my life, or some things really need to be done. We need to have a conversation about it. Today, we’ll be talking about the season of your brand energetics. Recently, I feel that my brand needs to have a shift, along with the changes that have been happening in the world, and me personally. It’s time to move away from things that I’ve long been sinking in towards new things where my heart wants to be. In this episode, we’re going to deal with this change. When you’re focused on too many distractions and drowned yourself in massive clutter, you tend to lose sight of what’s important. My desire to scale the business has blinded me from seeing the necessity of putting energy on the things that matter. Looking at the numbers too much can literally drive you crazy! Am I still giving positive and valuable things to them? During our journey to the top, we still have to remember the people we serve. After resting for too long in the pandemic, there’s also a point where we have to start picking ourselves up and begin creating again! At the end of the show, I’ll also be telling you what significant changes are in store for the podcast. I can’t believe we’ve been doing this for three years now. It’s about time for a well-deserved upgrade! I’ll catch you all again next time here on Bucci Radio. Stay safe!

We all go through different stages in our lives. Sometimes it’s because we move to different places, an intentional shift in career, severe medical conditions, a loss in the family, or sometimes knowing that we’ve changed. Or, maybe we’ve just started to figure out who we really are. Today’s guest is my friend, Marie Wold. She is an influencer for eight years and has been through everything from having an anonymous Instagram account, winning bikini competitions, getting over 100K subscribers on YouTube, and now coaching people who are scaling to six figures. In this episode, we’ll get into Marie’s younger years, why she started an anonymous Instagram account, the mistake of attaching your self-worth to social status, and growing around continuous feedback. After realizing she was only doing things only because it was expected of her and that it made the people around her happy, a switch flipped inside her. Marie also shares her experiences of finding her identity beyond the validation of others, loving being able to help other people, and removing herself from her past success in order to create one that has true purpose.

Have you ever found yourself projecting your feelings onto something or someone else? Have you wondered or judged what someone’s true intentions were? You can feel when someone has an agenda and is not standing in truth for what they’re looking for. We all are living in a constant stage of navigating our own triggers and recognizing our patterns, especially those of us on a self-healing journey. Today’s guest is my good friend--Adrian Ellison. Adrian and I met through social media back in December, and her energy was powerful, direct, and fierce. We quickly became friends, and I immediately knew I needed to learn from her. She’s a self-healing and relationship expert and one of the most bold and confident people I know. She’s a Coach, Speaker, and Retreat Leader who is a master at uncovering subconscious programs that run inside of us and helping others discover intimacy, sexuality, relationships, and self-expression. In today’s episode, we discuss directness in communication, how we can use directness as a defense mechanism, self-healing, boundary and shadow work, uncovering wounds and healing trauma, feeling “lost in the sauce”, projections and intentions, understanding your triggers, layers of judgement, feeling energy lines, standing in truth, building a healing relationship container.
